I have a friend who is looking for a pediatrician in the frisco/plano area that specializes in autism and can lead her toward an answer for helping her son. Does anyone know of any. Thanks Moms!
She might want to consider joining the Austism Society of Collin County or the MAFEA. Both have parents that could offer her a wealth of information. Many of the clients with whom I work have received wonderful references and ideas through those groups.

We did not have a good experience with Dr. Bain, and I would be happy to tell you more about it. I felt it was because our child was NOT on the spectrum.
I second Dr. Bain. We don't go to her, but I've heard SO MANY good things about her, and I'm dying to take my son to her. I just have to convince my husband it's worth the 45 minute drive from Fort Worth.
Dr. Deborah Bain is who I hear is the one to turn to for children with autism. We go to her and LOVE her---we don't have those same issues, but she has changed our path medically to finding the core issues and hitting them hard---with nutrition and avoiding antibiotics when possible. She supports alternative vaccine schedules---and actually would NOT vaccinate my daughter due to her not 'being well' despite not running a fever or any other symptoms....I just can't say enough good about her. For the first time I feel I have a team on my side, educating me and trusting my parental judgment.....totally different experience than any other pedi in the past. We drive 30 minutes to her and gladly do so.
I will definitely check out Dr Bain at Heathykids. My son is on the Autsim Spectrum and we just started going to her. She is AWESOME. I would definitely give her a try.
Hope this helps.
